    Hi
    It looks better every week.
    Why didn't you removed the bumper brackets? Only 3 screws...
    Good luck with the paint job!

    Nah thats the first coat. 1 or 2 more layers to go excluding clear. Clear should be another 2 layers or so.

    LOL failed attempt on the roof and bonnet. (Don't ask!!)




    Don't worry everything should be fine tomorrow (or next week?)

    Sanded the whole car and everything is ready to be painted

    Re: My car build thread

    No way its going to be done by this week! How many times you want me to skip from work?:p

    The clear should be painted this Saturday. I *think* everything should be done in another 2 weeks. Sanding+polishing.. ugh.. I miss driving her with the music thumping.. Damn the system should sound better with all those sound proofing stuffs I installed. must... get... her... done... FAST!

    BTW can someone chop the rims to bronze? I wonder how its going to look like with that orange. I'm at work (LOL) and no PS here.
